The objective of this project is to carry out comparative planetary geology aimed at
refining our understanding of the origin and dynamics of gullies and subglacial
channels. These linear landforms, quite visible on high-resolution imagery either in the
Arctic and Mars, have great implications regarding the role of water in arid and cold
environments.
